Laura and I went out on Saturday night to a house party and I got completely sloshed for the first time in my life.  While I remember having a good time, I don’t really remember why I was having a good time.  When I woke up, 2 hours past my Club Championship Qualification tee time, I had a splitting headache along with the sensation of wanting to hurl, although I didn’t give in.  After calling the golf course to be informed that I had been disqualified from the competition, Laura gave me a summary of some of my drunken shenanigans, some of which I can share with you:

1) At 1:30 a.m., I was telling Shawn to follow women into the bathroom, because that’s surely what women want when they are asking for directions to the bathroom.

2) By 3 a.m., I was telling anyone I could find about my plan to get my body fat down to 10% from 16%.

3) By 4:30 a.m., I was telling people that I grew up on the mean streets of Ville St-Laurent.

4) By 5:30 a.m., I was giving Doug shit for being a 26 year member and having a 10 handicap

There’s more, but the rest is just too embarrassing.  Two things I learned from that night: I have an extremely tolerant and awesome wife in Laura and being drunk is definitely overrated.

I can’t imagine what that’s like.  I just saw Michael Phelps win his 7th gold medal, but how the Serbian, Milorad Cavic, lost is simply unbelievable.  Cavic’s hand was about 6 inches away from touching the last wall and Phelps was an arms length away.  Phelps lunged for the wall using a butterfly style motion and Cavic, probably letting up a bit, didn’t keep his head down to extend his own lunge, allowing Phelps to touch the wall 1/100 sec in front of him.  How do you go to sleep after training for 4 years to lose by a fingernail on what is most likely a mental error?  When he sees that replay, he’s going to want to kill himself.  I hope the Serbians have good sports psychologists on staff :-).
P.S.  I know I haven’t updated this blog as much as I promised.  I apologize for that.  It seems I didn’t know what I was getting into and I did a poor job of estimating how much time and energy I actually had available to commit to this.  September should be better, but Omnifocus should also help me somewhat.
